This is not such an odd solution.

Locks are really easy to break with a screw driver and a hammer which  
almost everyone has and is easy to carry, but most people aren't going  
to have or carry a torch or a cutting wheel.

After 9/11 a large portion of the man holes in NYC were welded shut to  
prevent them from being used to hide explosives.
